Warming to Day of Suckiness theme here....This afternnoon, withdrew $600 from the ATM to buy bits and pieces, then went to a fab Oz beach down the road, had great swim (if you don't count turning a Pacific Ocean blue in the water) , came home feeling like a picture-postcard Bronzed Aussie (feeling is not the same as looking, btw.) Went over to the store to make purchases. Aha. No cash. None. Nada. Zip. All gone.
Le monnaie, c'est disparu. Back to beach, combing same. Can only assume some yobbo will be shouting the drinks at the pub tonight. Only hope that the loot went to some needy soul, not one of the holidaying BMW crowd. There had better be some d$mn good after-the-fact karma in all this ...
And the song
did scare the beejeesus out of me. I was, ya know, expecting John Lennon, and POW! Now I just don't feel poor, I feel old and poor.
Edit: Oh look. I just broke the French coffee press. Will have to boil ground beans in a pot tonight, and sievethrough a colander. To borrow from 'Art" (Season1): "This day grows ever more delightful".
Oh, cr'p! Now I don't feel so bad at all about my stuff. That s'cks so bad. I am so sorry for ya. I can tell you, that I really do think that you'll get it back some day, in some way. I have lost money, and then years later, I found like three times the amount I lost, actually more. Although, I stuck around and waited for someone to show up looking at the ground for their money. They never came back, and I waited a long time, hours and hours, plus I kept going back to see if they put up any signs. I would've given it back to them in a second if they did, but no wallet, no ID, just cash, a bunch of hundreds rolled up. Ok, well, I don't know if this is helping.

I just don't want you to feel bad. Just think about how many times all of us have spent money on unneeded things, or that it could have been alot worse. Don't think of the loss, think of it differently. Negative feelings will only make you depressed, it won't bring back your mony, sweets, so just forget it. Health and happiness is so much more important. I would give everything I had just to be able to walk the way I use to (it wouldn't add up to much, but you get my point.)
Hope you feel happier by the time your read this, you bronzed Aussie,

Where did you have the money? In your pocket, wallet, purse? Shoe? Maybe make a lil sign over there and post it up somewhere, cause if it was found by mistake and not stollen, then they may be good people that would return it if they knew how to contact you. Just an idea. Take care bwalter.
